    Thankyou! Just followed your instructions loading my c330 for the first time :D

    Hey, I have a question if you could possibly help me out that would be great!
    I have been working on the C330 and loving it! The only problem is when I roll the film upto the arrow markers sometimes the lever doesn’t complete a full turn. This leads to my first photo always being cut off in camera. How do you ensure this doesn’t happen?!
    If you know you’ll be a livesaver!

    @choufeizhu
    Hey bud, i’m looking to pick up a c3 which is sorta the same, do you have any suggestions on using it with flash and elinchrome strobes? so that i can sync, thank you in advance

    @choufeizhu Appreciate the help…got myself an old analog meter and it works great!

  5. choufeizhu says:

    @MisterBokeh ah yes, the mamiya is totally manual without a meter. it’s better that way, as the meters in the older cameras are often poor. you can buy a handheld meter, or just learn how to meter according to the available light and your eye (sunny 16 rule).

  6. MisterBokeh says:

    Nevermind…my c330 is the Professional F and it does not have the ASA/ISO dial, which kind of sucks!

  7. MisterBokeh says:

    Hey man, I got a question? The ASA dial. my understanding is the dial can be used both as an exposure compensation and to set film speed? I’m new to TLR….any input would be appreciated. Your video was also very helpful in showing how to load the 120 properly!

    Maravilhosa câmera! Tenho uma C330 Professional F com um conjunto de quatro lentes Mamiya Seckor (55, 80,135,180mm e mais porrofinder), meu modelo é um dos últimos fabricados. Boa sorte e ótimas fotos.

    I needed this badly. Thank you!

    @alexfstop83 Nice, you’ll love it. It’s a heavy beast but such a good camera. If you have any issues let me know and maybe I can help.

    Thanks, my c330 is in the mail. It’s my first Medium format. I think I have a lot to learn.
